Happy the man whose transgressions are forgiven and whose sins are covered.
Happy the man whom the Lord clears of iniquity, no deceit in his spirit.
When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away through my groaning
all day long.
For day and night your hand was heavy on me, my strength was draining away as with
the summer's heat.
So I acknowledged my sin to you, and my iniquity I did not hide.
Unto the Lord I confessed my transgressions, and you forgave the guilt
of my sin.
Happy the man whose transgressions are forgiven and whose sins are covered.
Happy the man whom the Lord clears of iniquity, no deceit in his spirit.
So in the time of discovery to you the godly will pray, and the flood shall not
reach them.
You are my hiding place, O Lord, from trouble you save me and surround me
with songs of salvation.
I will instruct you in the way you should go, and I will counsel you with my eye.
Be not like the horse or the mule, who only come through the bit and the
bridle.
Happy the man whose transgressions are forgiven and whose sins are covered.
Happy the man whom the Lord clears of iniquity, no deceit in his spirit.
His arrows abound for the guilty ones, while he who trusts in the Lord is
surrounded with mercy.
You righteous ones rejoice and be glad in the Lord, and may you shout for joy.
All of you are upright in heart.
Happy the man whose transgressions are forgiven and whose sins are covered.
Happy the man whom the Lord clears of iniquity, no deceit in his spirit.
Happy the man whose transgressions are forgiven.
